Mother and Child

[hopmedic]

This is from Brookfield Zoo. There are currently two baby gorillas there - one born last September, and one this May. There is also a playful child gorilla that is a couple years old. This is the one born last September with mom.

Shooting was raw. Increasing saturation and contrast, as well as cropping, were the only post-processing steps I performed.

Try adjusting Levels, Brightness & Contrast and Curves a little at a time. You have to watch that you dont blow out any detail or go to far as to make the objects seem unrealistic unless thats the look your going for.

The first image here is of the older youngster with his mother that has since past away at the Brookfield Zoo. The other females seemed to take over for her though in the care of the little guy!

The second picture is my version of post proc. your image.

Great shot!
